The City’s burning permitted season will begin on Monday, 1 June 2025, and continue through to 30 September 2025. During this period, permits are not required for burning. 

If you plan to burn, please follow these important guidelines: 

• Only burn dry garden waste – avoid burning wet materials to minimise smoke 

• Do not burn if your pile is damp – wet materials create excessive smoke 

• Be mindful of health impacts, especially for people with asthma or other respiratory conditions 

• For safer burns, wait 2 to 3 days after significant rain, or keep your burn pile covered to ensure it stays dry

• Make use of your allocated green skips wherever possible 

Stay up to date with local advisories for any changes to the burning season schedule.
